RUSH, NAF-FLY in for eLevate

10-7-2015 01:39

Two new players—Will "RUSH" Wierzba and Keith "NAF-FLY" Markovic— step into the eLevate squad following a major reshuffling of the team.

Just days after a new eLevate lineup was announced, the team suffered a major blow when ex-Nihilum player and teammate Andrew "⁠Professor_Chaos⁠" Heintz decided to retire from competitive play for the near future.

The first player to re-join the team was William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba, who just days earlier had been oficially signed to Tempo Storm, a move which necessitated a rather hasty rechanging of the player's Twitter banner and handle.


NAF-FLY joins eLevate following his departure from Luminosity 

Space for a fifth player was found after the announcement of last night's player swap in Luminosity Gaming, when Swede Jonatan "⁠Devilwalk⁠" Lundberg joined the squad in Canadian Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic's stead.

Since the team only fielded one empty space at the time, the player to be shown the door in exchange is former-SKDC player Steven "⁠rooRoooo⁠" Herrell. NAF will as a result pair up with old Liquid teammate Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele in the new eLevate team.

As a result of these changes, billed by the eLevate organisation as "final," the team's lineup now appears as:

France David "⁠Xp3⁠" Garrido
Canada Damian "⁠daps⁠" Steele 
United States William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba
United States Adam "⁠aKis⁠" Kisseberth
Canada Keith "⁠NAF⁠" Markovic

The fact that a FUCKING LEGEND is not even mentioned as being left out of the lineup is embarrassing. Storm was one of the greatest of all time for NA.
